Open Thread: Quicksilver podcast questions
Merlin Also | Jul 28 2006
Merlin on MacBreak: Intro to Quicksilver The response to the MacBreak on Quicksilver has been enthusiastic to say the least. Thanks to everyone who's sent emails saying they now "finally 'get' Quicksilver." That's really cool to hear. Based on lots of the messages, though, there's still lots of questions about setting up Quicksilver, loading plugins, and configuring things the way you like -- especially as seen in the video. As we've observed on the site many times, the ramp-up to full-on Quicksilver configuration can be a bitch. I want to try and route all the questions and answers into this one thread if I can. So, there's a few links below that I [="Red"]REALLY[/] encourage you to explore thoroughly before asking questions (I swear most all the answers are out there), but if you have a question not answered, the 43 Folders hive mind and I can try to help you out. Ask away (after you've really really looked for the answer on your own, okay?). My access over the next few days is limited, so any help from the Quicksilver studs out there is greatly appreciated! Good Quicksilver links:
Quicksilver power users: feel free to chime in as well with your favorite links, tutorials, and responses to questions from the new folks. Many thanks in advance. 51 Comments

...Any thoughts re my comment re "my approach re increasing the depth of the "Documents" folder too general, should I just go deep on certain folders and not so deep on others? At level 5 I have about 3k folders/files indicated as the search parameter (hope this makes sense, not familiar with the Quicksilver jargon yet)"... I don't regularly access a lot of folders/files in Documents, so I only catalogued those that I wanted regular access to. Then I got tired of having to spotlight for those non-regular files and folders, so I catalogued the entire Documents folder. Not really happy with the speed and responsiveness of QS since I've done this. I plan to fine-tune my catalogue, adding items I regularly access and more, but not the whole Documents folder. » POSTED IN:
